Chapter 502 Yizhou Contradictions
Subsequently, to deal with the aftermath affairs, the most important thing is to integrate the army, whether it is the Dongzhou soldiers or the officers and soldiers with local household registration in Yizhou, they must be recruited on the basis of merit, implement the same standards, and adopt the principle of voluntariness.
At present, it is only implemented in Shu County and Guanghan County, and Qianwei County and Ba County have not yet been received and will be suspended for the time being.
Of the approximately 90,000 local officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of Jia Long, Ren Qi and Zhao Wei and Liu Zhang, only 30,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry were willing to join the army and were qualified.
However, among the 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry of the Dongzhou Army, 25,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry were selected; They came from other places, most of them were refugees, and they had no permanent property in Yizhou, so joining the army was their best way out.
Since then, a large number of soldiers who did not meet the requirements and were unwilling to continue to serve in the army were sent home, which made the Yizhou scholars, wealthy clans and ordinary people who did not like war very happy.
Moreover, the strategy of challenging the selection of middle and low-level military positions in the army has made the morale of those who join the army high.
Then, Zhao Yun transferred grain and other reserve materials from the treasury to stabilize market prices, and sent postal inspectors to inspect the localities, so that the counties of Yizhou became more and more stable.
Half a month later, a message came from Qianwei County, which had been received.
A month later, Ba County was taken over, and the jurisdiction remained stable.
These four counties can be said to be the richest place in Yizhou, and the Han population of the four counties accounts for ninety percent of the total Han population in Yizhou.
Now the biggest headache for Zhao Yun is the appointment of Jia Long, Ren Qi and Zhao Wei.
Promotions increase income, and meritorious service is rewarded, which is a natural thing in that era, and it is the embodiment of the value of life.
Although they took the initiative to surrender and their morality was despised by the world, they made great contributions, otherwise Zhao Yun would not have entered Yizhou so easily; Now they are in the position of Taishou, or the position of Zhonglang General, and they can no longer be promoted; They are also local wealthy families, and there is no shortage of money at all, and the reward means little to them.
Moreover, the Gaoshun forces have adopted the separation of military and political affairs, and let them only hold military positions or only manage government affairs in the future, which is a debasement of them and is equivalent to demotion.
More importantly, Zhao Yun's arrival is also listed as a person from Dongzhou, and his relationship with the local nobles is also antagonistic, if it is not handled well, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from the forces in the state, which is a severe test for Zhao Yun.
However, at this time, Gao Shun's letter arrived, which suddenly reduced Zhao Yun's pressure a lot.
First of all, Gao Shun announced that Zhao Yun's acting Yizhou pastor, that is, the acting state pastor, has been reported to the imperial court and is waiting for the final approval.
secondly, Hanzhong County was placed under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou; The geographical location of Hanzhong County is too important, and it is advisable to control it by Guanzhong, so as to avoid the local forces in Yizhou from having bad ideas, so that the Yizhou scholars and local tyrants dare not have different intentions; According to the news from Liangzhou, Zhou Fei has sent people to take over Hanzhong County and Wudu County, and the Meridian Old Road is also being repaired; Zhang Lu, the Taishou of Hanzhong County, his family, and important believers will be escorted to Jizhou; This made Zhao Yun and Guo Jia have no worries, and Liangzhou was their reliance.
Third, Zhao Yun was ordered to send someone to escort Liu Zhang and his family to Jizhou.
Fourth, it was suggested that Zhao Yun should redivide the administration, abolish the subject states, establish counties, and reduce the territory of each county, so as to strengthen local control.
Fifth, to establish a naval army, it is recommended that Gan Ning be responsible for forming a naval army.
Finally, it was suggested that after Zhao Yun stabilized the place, he would remove Liu Ba as a senior civil official in the state capital and Yan Yan as a Zhonglang general.
The conquest system is a top-down system of selecting officials that was implemented during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The conquest can be divided into two categories: "conscription" and "conscription"; The local governor expelled the scholars on his own, which was "expelled".
In the Western Han Dynasty, there were both conscription and expulsion, and the two can be collectively called "conquest", and the same is true for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Along with the letter, there were also 30 civil officials who could serve as state and county-level officials, 30 military attachés who could serve as military commanders, other military officials, or commanders, as well as many middle and low-level civil and military officials, which made it much easier for Zhao Yun to employ people.
After reading the letter, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia settled down and began to adjust.
The position of the other driver is temporarily concurrently held by the military adviser Guo Jia, and Huang Quan is engaged in the other driving position.
Yan Pu served as the ruler; Yang Ang was engaged in the middle of the rule.
Yan Pu and Huang Quan are both from Yizhou, and Yang Ang is from Hanzhong County, and this move is for the Yizhou scholars.
Zhang Ren was promoted to cavalry lieutenant general, with 10,000 cavalry under his command and stationed in Zitong; Shi A was appointed as an infantry lieutenant general, with 10,000 infantry under his command, stationed in Chengdu; Li Yan was appointed as an infantry lieutenant general, with 10,000 infantry under his command, stationed in Ruoxian; 10,000 cavalry under the direct jurisdiction of Zhao Yun were stationed in Chengdu, cavalry escorted the military camp in Chengdu, and infantry escorted the prefecture pastoral mansion.
Subsequently, he sent people to surrender the Guanghan vassal state, and the Qingqiang Yicong cavalry of the Guanghan vassal country was disabled by Zhao Yun, and he had no strength to fight, so he had to declare that he would return to Shunzhou.
The commander of the subject state of Shu County and the officers and soldiers under his jurisdiction surrendered in Chengdu, so that the subject state of Shu County was also included in the rule.
According to Gao Shun's suggestion, Guo Jia abolished the subject state of Shu and set up Hanjia County, which was governed in Hanjia County.
The subject state of Guanghan was abolished, and the territory north of the subject state of Guanghan and Zitong County of Guanghan County was set up as Zitong County, and the county was governed in Zitong County; The remaining territory is still Guanghan County.
Qianwei County is divided into two, the northwest is Qianwei County, and the southeast is Jiangyang County; Chen Chao was appointed as the commander of Qianwei.
Ba County is divided into two, Dianjiang County (Hechuan) and the north of Tongluo Mountain are Ba County, and the county is governed in Anhan County; The southern part is set up as Jiangzhou County, and the county is governed in Jiangzhou County.
The lieutenants of each county have under the command of 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry; The county lieutenants had two hundred infantry and one hundred cavalry; This has greatly strengthened local control.
Gan Ning was appointed as the Sima of the Navy and stationed in Jiangzhou County, which was exactly what he wanted, and he was even more loyal to Zhao Yun's forces after that.
The counties south of it have not yet been brought under its jurisdiction; It turned out that Liu Zhang's control over the southern counties was very weak, and many counties did not even send officials, and now they could not even recruit and surrender, so they had to give up for the time being, and first stabilize the current occupied areas and then talk about the affairs of the southern and central counties.
When the stability was almost over, Zhao Yun and Guo Jiacai talked to Jia Long, Ren Qi and Zhao Wei respectively and consulted their opinions.
At this time, not only Zhao Wei was dissatisfied with the current status quo, but even Jia Long and Ren Qi were also very dissatisfied with the current results.
The reason why they opposed Liu Zhang's father and son was that they hoped to gain more power, but Liu Zhang's father and son relied on Qingqiang and Dongzhou soldiers to brutally suppress them.
I wanted to welcome the Liangzhou army to come and defeat Liu Zhang's forces, but their Xizhou faction could become bigger and stronger with the help of external forces, divide one side, and realize the goal of Yizhou people governing Yizhou, but they didn't expect that the Liangzhou people's faction disappointed them even more, not only lost their local duties, but even their military power was seriously reduced.
Zhao Yun not only installed a large number of Dongzhou people in the army, most of the senior and middle-level officers were Dongzhou people, and greatly increased the salaries of officers and soldiers, distributed tax-free farmland, improved food standards, etc., and implemented a challenge system for low-level officers, making the officers and soldiers extremely loyal to Zhao Yun's forces.
Now they have lost both administrative control over the localities and absolute control over the army; After that, whether he was in the army or in politics, he had to operate in the circle demarcated by Zhao Yun, and there was no room for free play.
In view of this situation, it is too late for them to rebel, Hanzhong County is controlled by Liangzhou, and the passes from Jianmen Pass to Yangping Pass are guarded by Liangzhou soldiers, not to mention that the officers and soldiers under Zhao Yun's current jurisdiction are strong and strong, and they are loyal to him.
What is even more difficult for them to accept is that any landless person, as long as they go to the county government to register their household registration, can distribute wasteland according to the population, ration farm tools and seeds, and even lend rations, and tax exemption for two years, which is undoubtedly a severe blow to the Yizhou nobles and local tyrants, but this move has won the loyalty of ordinary people to the current government.
Cutting off people's money is equivalent to killing their parents.
Zhao Yun's actions made them feel like they were unloading the mill and killing donkeys, and the psychological gap with them was too big.
Other scholars and local tyrants in Yizhou are also very disappointed with many policies of the new state capital, and they feel that they are not as good as Liu Zhang's tenure.
